How do I take data from two different classes into one?

Question

I have two classes in two different scripts that are responsible for two different actions. One is supposed to give the player positive score and the other one will subtract from the total score.

The first class that adds points to the score when an objective is destroyed looks like this:

addScore is in a different script and looks like this:

The posScoreValue value is sent to game controller addScore where it is set as score.

Now I want to write another function in another script that sends a negScoreValue to addScore. What does the syntax look like then?

Is adding another function in the GameController class to control the negative scores and then adding them up while calling the UpdateScore function in both a better idea?

I'm not sure if I understood the problem correctly. However if you just want to create objects which subtract a certain amount from points, just use the same DestroyOnContact class on that object and set the amount to a negative value and you are done.

Though your question is lacking many details. The classes won't work as you posted them here. Your DestroyOnContact class currently doesn't have a reference to your GameController class. So it's not clear where that gameController variable / field comes from. Also your UpdateScore method (which is a private method) doesn't seem to be called anywhere.

In summary I don't quite see what the actual issue is that you have problems with. The information provided in the question is quite vague.

I can't just use DestroyByContact because the points are being subtracted every time an object leaves the boundaries of the game. This is detected by another script.

The problem is that I don't know how to let GameController know when the object has left the boundaries.
